Mechanical Engineering (BS): Aerospace Emphasis

Licensure: This program meets the educational requirements designed to lead to an occupationally required professional license or certificate in the state of Utah. Students pursuing occupations requiring a license or certificate in a state other than Utah should contact the appropriate BYU academic advisement center as well as the licensing agency in the state where they intend to work to seek information and guidance regarding licensure and certification requirements.

On gaining acceptance into the professional program, students must maintain a minimum university cumulative grade point average of 2.0.

No more than 6 credit hours or two courses of grades below C- in major courses may be applied toward graduation.

A professional program course may not be retaken more than once.
